1. Satan wants to replace Communion lines with bread lines, as if the Body of Christ were nothing more than temporal sustenance.
Yes, he does. Since he is the personification of evil I expect nothing different.

2. Satan tempts the Church to mock herself, as he wanted Jesus to jump from the pinnacle of the Temple and survive. This test will see whether Christians will take up the daily crosses of life with Christ in a broken world
Yes, he does. We can't read the hearts of others so we won't ever know these things. But, our good Lord will know, and that is good enough for me.

3. Thirdly, the Church is tempted with earthly power. Cardinal Consalvi reminded Napoleon that the Church's power is not from earthly rulers.
The Evil one WOULD tempt the priesthood the most. Priests have the authority to say the words to consecrate bread and wine into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus...and we are to consume them. THIS would be the very deserved agony of Satan.
